Unlock the secrets in your DNA!
Discover the answers to your family history mysteries using the
most-cutting edge tool available. This plain-English guide is a
one-stop resource for how to use DNA testing for genealogy. Inside,
you'll find guidance on what DNA tests are available, plus the
methodologies and pros and cons of the three major testing companies
and advice on choosing the right test to answer your specific genealogy
questions. And once you've taken a DNA test, this guide will demystify
the often-overwhelming subject and explain how to interpret DNA test
results, including how to understand ethnicity estimates and haplogroup
designations, navigate suggested cousin matches, and use third-party
tools like GEDmatch to further analyze your data. To give you a
holistic view of genetic testing for ancestry, the book also discusses
the ethics and future of genetic genealogy, as well as how adoptees and
others who know little about their ancestry can especially benefit from
DNA testing.
The book features:
- Colorful diagrams and expert definitions that explain key DNA
terms and concepts such as haplogroups and DNA inheritance patterns
- Detailed guides to each of the major kinds of DNA tests and which
tests can solve which family mysteries, with case studies showing how
each can be useful
- Information about third-party tools you can use to more
thoroughly analyze your test results once you've received them
- Test comparison guides and research forms to help you select the
most appropriate DNA test and organize your results and research once
you've been tested
Whether you've just heard of DNA testing or you've tested at all three
major companies, this guide will give you the tools you need to
unpuzzle your DNA and discover what it can tell you about your family
tree.
